I am using the daily Bible reading schedule from “The Bible.net” for my daily Bible reading.  I just got back from a ten day vacation and prepared this before I left.

Today, I am reading and commenting on Jeremiah 16-18.

Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows…well, perhaps, but The Shadow was a fictional character.  God knows, and He is not fictional, no matter how much some people proclaim that He is.  We may think we know that wickedness lurks in the hearts of certain people and not in the hearts of others.  But we are generally mistaken.  We do not truly know our own wickedness, let alone that of others.  However, God knows the inmost thoughts of everyone and will give us the just reward for our thoughts and behaviors.  Which should scare each and everyone of us!  On the other hand, if we humbly throw ourselves upon His mercy, He will extend us that mercy.
